I love that my most reviewed novel lately is The Flaming Turret -- the last book in The Haight Mystery Series. Most people who finish this novel have read all 5 books in the series and like them enough to leave a review. tinyurl.com/ynh7fz6a #bookworm #KindleUnlimited #sanfrancisco #thriller

#TBT Seven years ago, I saw Robert Plant at #HardlyStrictlyBluegrass, the free festival in Golden Gate Park. We took a few pics of my new book as we waited. Plant is playing #HSB26 again Sunday but sadly I'll miss it. #sanfranciscomystery #sanfrancisco #goldengatepark

With literary tourism booming, it seems like a great time to devise a walking tour in San Francisco for book-lovers. And the best place would be in North Beach, the heart and soul of The Beat movement. tinyurl.com/5ykz7m4y #northbeach #sanfrancisco #bookworm #readingcommunity #littourism #BookTour

If I hadn't adopted a new theme for the covers of The Haight Mystery Series, Book 5 would have looked like this. But all the covers had to follow new rules. Check out THE FLAMING TURRET (& the new cover) on #kindleunlimited or shorturl.at/jQwjv #bookworm #historicalmystery #bookrecommendations

I’ve given THE FLAMING TURRET, the 5th novel in The Haight Mystery Series, a new cover. It replaces the cartoonish figure and adds a quote I’m really proud of from the 2025 Toby Award judges: “AN ALMOST-PERFECT BOOK” #KindleUnlimited shorturl.at/tBdbi #bookrecommendations #bookreview #bookworm

I've read too little literary fiction lately so I grabbed this masterpiece. What a joy! Henchard is still one of my favorite characters ever. What struck me with this reading was Hardy's economy as a writer, which was extraordinary for a Victorian. Such deft pacing. #bookworm #bookrecommendations
